Course Introduction

This class covers basic vocabulary and grammar points and develops reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills. Fren 101 covers units 1 through 6 of the Promenades vText. Your instructor is here to help you progress to your full potential in French, so please feel free to contact him at any time to discuss

problems or difficulties you may be experiencing in the course.

This is a distance-learning course wherein students actively participate in their own learning process outside the classroom in an online environment and study time is dedicated to activities that incorporate vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, and culture points. Students must approach this course with a real

desire to put in the time demanded. Fren 101 covers a lot of material and will require a substantial time commitment to read, study the grammar lessons and tutorials, and do the online required assignments. By the end of the course, however, you will be ready for Fren 102 and will have gained an invaluable

opportunity to practice written communication, listening, and reading comprehension in French.

Course Objectives

By the completion of French 101, students should be able to do the following:

• Communicate in basic French. Students will be able to greet and take leave of others, discuss their courses and class schedules, their family, the pastimes and sports they enjoy, and also talk about the weather. Students should feel comfortable in the present tense and will begin to speak in and understand the past tense (passé composé).

• Create original thoughts in French. Students will gain knowledge of the structure of French and will therefore be able to use the vocabulary learned to form new thoughts and basic sentences.

• Gain a greater understanding of and appreciation for French culture, particularly in terms of geography, demography, and the vast differences in culture that are present throughout the francophone world.

Lessons (Leçons)

Each lesson in your ISI Course Guide includes:

• Lesson Objectives

• Material to Cover

• Active Vocabulary

• Lecture and Required Activity (Deviors)

• Online Promenades Supersite assignments to be submitted electronically

The Promenades vText is divided into 13 units. You will be studying the first six units in Fren 101. Each unit (unité) is divided into two lessons, called Leçon A and Leçon B. Each leçon in a unit contains seven main sections: Contextes, Les sons et les lettres, Roman-Photo (Video), Lecture Culturelle, Flash culture, Structures, and Vocabulaire. The second leçon in each unit concludes with a sixth section called Savoir-faire. Under the Savoir-faire section, you will be able to access the Vocabulaire screen, which presents all

of the unit’s active vocabulary. All of your assigned exercises are available online in the Promenades

acivities screen on the Promenades Supersite.

This Course Guide will direct you through these sections so that you will be well prepared for the

proctored exam that follows each unit.

Study Hints

• Carefully read and follow all the instructions and suggestions found in this Course Guide.

• When directed to do so, refer to the appropriate pages of your Promenades vText before attempting to submit assigned exercises.

• As you begin each new lesson, your instructor recommends that you first study the active vocabulary listed in the Vocabulaire section on the Promenades Supersite at the end of each Unité in your Promenades vText.

• Note: The Structures sections of each lesson presents two grammar points. Before submitting the assigned grammar exercises, you will be directed to access an online tutorial explaining the

grammar point you are being asked to practice.

• Set a schedule allowing for completion of the course one month prior to your desired deadline. (An Assignment Submission Log is provided for this purpose.)

• Review earlier material by frequently practicing the exercises and vocabulary you have successfully done in previous lessons.

Fren101_20131210

• REMEMBER: For each section of the text that is covered, only certain exercises have beenassigned for you to submit to your instructor. Only those exercises showing a due date of “Fri06/30” are your assigned exercises. For extra practice on sections that you find challenging,

remember that you will find more communicative exercises in the vText to help you increaseyour understanding and ability. Don’t feel limited to doing only the assigned exercises.

Submitting Assignments

When you have completed a lesson (for example, Leçon 1A) and have submitted all the required activities and exercises (only those exercises showing the due date “Fri 06/30”), double-check to make sure that you have done all of the exercises requested for that lesson. Then, email your instructor that you have completed the lesson and have submitted all of the required exercises. After you have completed the assigned exercises in Lessons A and B of a specific Unit and have received feedback from your instructor on both lessons, you may then take the exam for that Unit.

Refer to the Course Rules in Canvas for further details on assignment requirements and submission.

Exams

You must wait for grades and comments on lessons prior to taking each subsequent exam.

For your instructor’s exam guidelines, refer to your Registration Confirmation Email and the Exam

Information sections in this Course Guide.

See Grading for specific information on lesson/exam points and percentages.

Proctor Selection/Scheduling Exams

All exams require a proctor.

To submit your Proctor Information Form online, visit the ISI website and select Forms, Proctor

Information Form. Submit this form at least two weeks before your first exam. Refer to About ISI

Policies on the ISI website for information on acceptable and unacceptable proctors.

Grading

The course grade will be based upon the following considerations:

Graded Assignments (Devoirs): 12 lessons 40%

Unit Exams: 6 exams 60%

A final average of: 90% to 100% = A 80% to 89% = B

70% to 79% = C 60% to 69% = D

0% to 59% = F

The final course grade is issued after all lessons and exams have been graded.

Acts of academic dishonesty, including cheating or plagiarism, are considered a very serious transgression

and may result in a grade of F for the course.

In the six short conversations presented in this section you will discover that French has two ways of

addressing people: formal (vous) and informal (tu).

informal situations, such as talking to a peer or close acquaintance.
